Re: Getting Rid of Cable Just got EASIER!

Thanks for that. Have wanted to check out this cord cutting but didn't know how to start.

I did a search for broadcaster antennas expecting to see 3, 6 & 12 out of Shreveport. To my surprise the map showed no broadcasters reaching Minden. I guess either they don't broadcast that way any more or push a lot less signal. I like to get the local news & thats been a deterrent to cutting the cord. But recently I noticed ksla saying they are available on Roku. If ktbs will follow suit maybe cord cutting is possible.

KSLA is on roku. They are also on PS Vue. Abc, nbc & fox are on demand- no local news.

Re: Getting Rid of Cable Just got EASIER!

Looks a lot like crappy cable to me - $18 + 30 + 15 + 10= 73. I get the same stuff (except Discovery's channels and Viacom) for $45 with PS Vue.

The service starts with a $18 a month core package that includes locals like ABC, FOX, and NBC. You will also find C-Span, QVC, and HSN. From there you can add additional packages on top of the $18 a month core package to get more channels.Here are all the add-ons Comcast currently offers:
